Binary package hint: fetchmailconf
Running Kubuntu 6.06 (dapper) on AMD64 (Intel Core Duo 2), fetchmailconf works only if there is no local .fetchmailrc present (=only the first time). If a .fetchmailrc is present, fetchmailconfig throws the following error:
Fields don't match what fetchmailconf expected:
Not matched in class `Server' signature: ['dns']
This is true even if .fetchmailrc is almost empty (e.g. no servers/users defined). Contents of my .fetchmailrc (private info masked with ***):

--------------------------------
This is very probably an upstream bug, and it may be related to the fact that I am running AMD64 (see also http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/fetchmail-friends/2005-08/msg00016.html, which seems to discuss the same problem).
Same thing here
